Surely someone has mounted these bags 10 Months ago
|
|
Has anyone mounted heritage bags on their star? I have been searching the net and can find a only a couple pics of road stars with these bags and no threads on it.
Heritage bags have their brackets riveted to the back on the bags. So I'm wonderful my if people are modifying those brackets or removing them and making their own mounting system?
Surely someone knows something about doing this.

A buddy has a set of like new takes offs that I can have if I want them. I like the way they look in mock up (see below)
I have been wanting to mount a set of these on a road star since back when I had Misfit.
(along with a set of duals)
It would take some work but it looks like I could make a bracket to mount them but, I wanted to see if anyone had done this or had any tips before I start cutting up the stock bracket thats mounted to the bags now.

I only mounted them once. But I was kind of drunk. Does that count?

Did they complain, or did they like it?

I thought "Heritage Bags" was code for Cougars. LOL Nevermind.
Good to visit... now, back to changing someone's tires & brakes (loving it)

Not trying to bring up memories that Warden would rather forget but... I was messing in the garage tonight trying figure out how to mount the top part of the bags. What do ya think? Higher lower more forward or back, look ok?
